Well, here's the next chapter. Hope you like it! DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of these characters except Summer. Oh and Dracos uncle, aunt and little cousin.  The rest, the school and everything else is all J K Rowling's, cos I doubt I have enough imagination to come up with it all.

Chapter 7: unexpected meeting

The weeks until Christmas rushed by, and soon the whole castle was being decorated in the normal way.

"Hogsmeade visit this weekend." Ron commented on Wednesday evening. They were in their normal chairs finishing their charms essay. "Got a prefect meeting in a moment, so we'll have to leave you two here." he put his quill down and scanned through his essay very slowly, checking for any errors.

"Hand it here." Hermione sighed. "At this rate, the meeting will be finished!" Ron looked at Harry and Summer and rolled his eyes.

"Quite finished?" he said sarcastically as she handed it back. Hermione glared at him and stood up.

"Come on I don't want to be late again. Last time we were because of you, and Draco wouldn't shut up about the points we lost for it for the rest of the week." Ron muttered something under his breath as he followed her out of the common room.

"Do those two never stop arguing?" Summer asked after they had gone.

"Not really. Its amazing that they actually are still friends. You wanna play chess or something? I'm bored."

"Yeah, sure. I was playing it with Ron the other day, he won of course." Harry went to get his set and chose to be white.

"Um, Harry, you know this Hogsmeade trip is coming up, well I was wondering if you could come with me for a while some where. I want to ask you something, but not until then."

"Uh, I guess so, if the other two don't mind being ditched." He replied. She smiled at him and then instructed her knight to take out one of his. Wondering what she wanted to ask him, he didn't notice and started to get yelled at by his queen. (A/N:I have never played chess in my life and so I don't know an y moves!!!)

Their game was going on two hours later when Ron and Hermione returned.

"Anything interesting happening?" Harry asked as Ron sank into a chair.

"No, not really. This term has been quite boring so far." He replied.

"That's not true! The exams have been moved, so they are a week early, I wouldn't say that was nothing!" Hermione exclaimed indignantly.

"Ooh, wow." Ron muttered sarcastically. "She's been like that all night." He said, glaring at her. Summer looked at Harry and grinned, he was right, they never did stop arguing, though she could have told that from her books.

The next morning at breakfast, Summer received a note. Solus sat patiently by her on the table, drinking from her owners goblet.

"Your owl is beautiful." Hermione commented, stroking Solus' head.

"So is Hedwig." Summer replied. " Pig is cute, but just a little bit excitable." Ron gave her a funny look.

"A little bit excitable?" he said. "are you mad?" at that moment, Pig was flying around his head and hooting excitably. He had delivered a parcel to Ron from Fred and George, their latest invention for him to try.

"Who's your letter from?" Harry asked Summer.

"Oh, my parents, just wanting to see if every thing is ok. They aren't in the country at the moment." She hurriedly stuffed it in her pocket. In truth, it was from Voldemort, or rather, written by one of his death-eaters. At that moment, Draco walked past and gave Summer a meaningful look. He had also received a note.

Saturday came quickly. Harry woke early that morning, wondering what Summer wanted to talk to him about. The pale wintry sun streamed through into the room, which was brighter that usual as it also reflected off the freshly fallen snow.

*

"Hey, you guys, can I have a word with you two?" Summer asked Hermione and Ron. (I will write what she said later on, sorry if it gets a bit confusing!) She pulled them into a corner and had just finished talking to them when Harry came around the corner.

"Ready to go?" he asked as they all stepped out. They lined up and were counted off by Filch as they walked by out the front door and into the grounds on their way to Hogsmeade.

The snow gleamed brightly as they walked on, and an icy cold breeze blew around them.

"Its cold out here!" Ron said, pulling his cloak around him. They were now in the street outside of the shops.

"Uh, Harry, can you come with me?" Summer asked, turning to him.

"Uh, yeah I guess…." He said. He shot a look at Ron and Hermione, but Ron just shrugged and Hermione waved.

Summer lead Harry down a little alley way between a small stationary shop and Honey dukes. As they rounded the corner, Harry suddenly let out a cry of pain.

"What's the matter?" Summer asked, turning around.

"Its my scar, its really burning." Harry gasped, clutching his head. But as soon as it had  come, it had gone.

"Feeling better?" Summer smiled, and took his hand. As they stopped walking, Harry gasped. There, in front of him, surrounded by many black hooded figures, was Lord Voldemort.

sorry this took sooo long to get up!  I have been quite busy lately so I couldn't write any thing… thanks to my reviewers, I've had some new ones. Left it at a cliff hanger for now…sorry in advance if I don't update for a while. Oh, and Marissa (good friend of mine at school), I've gone through this so there shouldn't be any mistakes so now you can't tell me I've made them in IT!!
